That could be fuel you see on the spark plug, might sound counter-intuitive but you are not supposed to use the Choke unless you actually require it i.e it is dead cold.

If there is too much fuel inside the cylinder then the motorcycle would not start, its called 'Flooding the motor', first sign of this is that you'd start to smell fuel, so when that happens you would have to crank the motor with the throttle wide open, what this does it result in temporarily create a lean state i.e let more air into the motor that would help ignite the fuel in the cylinder.

Do try it out and let me know.

I dont think its fuel, it didnt evaporate, and its had the characters of engine oil. Right now i changed the spark plug to RTR 180 and riding it. will revert back to UR4KE SPARK PLUG. Will check for oil trace too during the spark plug change.
I have one more issue, after changing to double head spark plug, i can see a change in silencer sound, and engine grunt??

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

If engine oil is burning in the cylinder then you'll find traces at the exhaust tip as well.

Ive used both plugs but never heard any difference as the ECE helmet muffles everything insignificant.

if its a new bike the exhuast sound chages over period of time due to carbon deposits around the inner exhaust metals gradually over time. from a metallic sound it will become a more beefy smoother sound. nothing to do with the spark plug.

sometimes running a thicker grade oil does change the engine grunt a bit...

No traces of oil in Exhaust tip, but i can see good amount of carbon traces, what does it indicate?? Am i running very rich.

His videos are clear, beautiful and simple (easy to understand).

The first friction plate of the slipper need not be aligned with the shallow slots like the non-slipper?

Does anyone know what function these shallow slots serve - some bikes like Bajaj Pulsar dont have them on their clutches.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Can u people help me by explaining why my clutch keeps getting loose after some kilometers everytime I adjust it with svc guys. It really pisses me off. And my third gear shifting is really hard compared to other gears which are really smooth. 3rd gear makes loud katt noise when I upshift. It's just 1500 kms and these two are persistent right from the start.

Re: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Ownership Experience

Hey guys, new user here and a new owner of the RTR 200.

I have clocked 600+ kms on the odo and have got my first service done. The engine on my bike overheats far too easily after riding for about 10 kms, so much so that it's hard to even touch it. What could be the reason for this? Also, once the engine does heat up a lot, it's really hard to maintain idling. First gear feels like it could stall any time. Is this a serious issue with the bike or should I wait for a while and clock up more kilometres before coming to any conclusions?
